In the Treehouse Workspaces, there is an environment variable set that focuses pip on the local user changes. So pip freeze only shows what you have installed instead of all the packages installed. To temporarily by-pass this environ var use the --isolated switch (docs)

treehouse:~/workspace$ pip --version                                                             
pip 7.1.2 from /usr/local/pyenv/versions/3.5.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)          
treehouse:~/workspace$ env | grep -i pip                                                         
PIP_USER=true

treehouse:~/workspace$ pip freeze

Did as you said. And then I typed in : pip freeze | grep flask . Now nothing showing up just the workspace prompt to type. Repeating the pip command resulting the same.

Flask is capitalized. You need to add the switch to the command before the grep:

pip --isolated freeze | grep Flask

## or to ignore case, use -i

$ pip --isolated freeze | grep -i flask
